THE Loughborough Lions managed to raise over £1,000 at a carol concert in Loughborough’s Carillon Court.

The Parish Band, Beacon Academy Choir, Charnwood Symphonic Wind Band and the Sax Sensations generously provided their time and talent to help the Lions on Saturday, December 20.

A Loughborough Lions spokesperson said: “The main use for the funds is to provide a defibrillator in the centre of Loughborough to be used by the public in the event of an emergency and it is hoped that this can be provided soon.

“None of this would be possible without the generosity of the public for their donations once again – many thanks!”
